833 Rebuild - 2nd Gear Grinds Going Up and Bumps Out Decelerating

Good to hear. You are welcome.

When you put it back together, keep the rod orientation in mind.

There is a lot of good information in this thread. Keeping the levers tight to the fork studs, knowing that slop in that connection is bad, it's all important.

Make sure you have the right rods and levers. There are good pics and explanations in Passon's book.

Check this illustration in post #23:
4 speed slipping out of second gear

If you still have trouble with what started this thread, it's highly unlikely to be any of this: rods/levers/shifter/assembly of 'em.

Good luck!
